Job Abstract

Our core value is building strong relationships with our institutional clients, which include corporations, financial service providers, and fund managers. We help them buy and sell financial products on exchanges around the world, raise funding, and manage risk. This is a dynamic, entrepreneurial team that includes individuals who have a passion for the markets, who thrive in fast-paced environments, and enjoy solving challenges the regulatory environment presents to the global markets business.

At Goldman Sachs, our culture is one of teamwork, innovation and meritocracy. We often say our people are our greatest asset and we take pride in supporting each colleague both professionally and personally.

The Assessments & Control Standards team ensures Global Banking & Markets (GBM) is well positioned to respond to the rapidly evolving regulatory landscape. The team creates and manages implementation of strategies to guide Goldman Sachs through the regulatory changes that are occurring in the financial markets. We identify areas of particular risk and opportunity for the firm and its client base and develop strategies and processes to address them. The role will include working closely with Divisional Leadership, Sales, Trading, and other stakeholders like Government Affairs, Compliance, Legal, Operations and Engineering.

Our team is leading a near term (1-2yr) uplift to augment GBM’s traceability and mapping between regulations and policies, and applicable business controls. This will require a detailed understanding of the regulations themselves, but most importantly entail practical application of the regulations to GBM’s businesses, processes, technology and people. Experience in any or all aspects of this work at financial institutions will equip the ideal candidate well for the task. Medium-to-longer term we foresee application of the expertise developed in an ongoing capacity within our broader team.
